HASTE MAKE WASTE

-

 Why are you in a hurry? Why? Why do you want to jump the queue? Are you worried that all your mate will be too far ahead and you will find it extremely hard to catch up? Are you worried that they are married and nothing is coming for you yet on that phase? Oh, you are really worried you can't take care of your parents yet while others are buying cars and building houses for their own? So, that set you on the fast lane? Now, you want to do anything to get anything. Now, you want to go to any extent in becoming rich or in joining those that are happening around? Yes, you have prayed and waited but nothing is forthcoming. Yes, you fasted and have all requisite degrees and all, but no serious breakthrough. I understand the way you feel. Young man, let these issues not push you to rush ahead of your destiny. Let it not push you to make haste. Haste makes waste. In fact, you can be sure that anything done in haste will contain huge lapses and shortcomings. You can be sure the end is not always palatable.  Seriously, what you are going through is tedious and you may lack words to describe the feeling of that stagnancy or barrenness. Words from mentors now seems not to make sense again and it look like they really don't understand you again. Now, you have decided to take any route. You have decided to do the ignoble just to get out. Now, you are in haste. You want to catch up with everything you've "missed". You want to match your friends and so every advice to take the shortcuts are the best wisdoms around you. Every advice to go against God's word in getting wealthy and comfortable is morally justifiable. Young man, that path is dangerous for you. That path is a broad one and its always free, no hitch, no road blocks, no bends and all. But the end of it is destructive. God is not sleeping over your matter. He is active and his timing is never late. Once he balances all equations with his parameters of judgement, you will be good to go. Everything will be in order and in place. Sarah was waiting for years in order to get fruit of the womb: the covenant child. But she lost it when she reached menopause and nothing can naturally happen again as per child bearing. She made haste in deciding the next move for her husband. She got him convinced of running ahead of God' s promises. She sought the alternatives and she got what she wanted but that was the beginning of   a deeper degree of sorrow. The child she wanted came by her maid but her sorrow multiplied to the extent of asking her husband to send the result of her hasty decision away from the covenant child. She forgot it was menopause and not menostopped. Young man, be careful not to rush and make haste because things are not looking like it yet. Be patient a little more and the results of your waiting will come. Don't make haste, it may waste   your life or deform what are you designed to become.

UNDERSTANDING THE TIMES

-
Seriously, understanding your times in the making process poses a  great challenge to many as children of God. Unlike the trees and crops whose seasons are relatively constant in planting and fruition, every man has a unique timing in both. It is laid on us to understand under God what our times and seasons are. A man who ought to be in the planting season is expressing fruits (Results of being made). A man who ought to be in the germination stage is celebrating the harvest. See, once you miss your timing in life, there is already a huge deficit in purpose fulfillment. Don't envy any man. See their timeline and you will understand. One heavy blow the enemy has landed on our generation of young ones is to be fruitful without getting planted. They want to ride cars, build houses, have huge money, and get to do the "big" things without being buried as in planting. No cultivation,  no rooting, no thinning, and no manuring, none. They want to skip those times because of one ol

FRIENDS

-
The circle of people around you has a huge influence on who you are becoming. Remember, we have discussed that you are becoming what you will become.  No one became anything suddenly. It's a process. While you are becoming what you will become, you need to know that the friends you keep will have a large influence on you. Let me tell you the bitter truth. You cannot be friends with everyone. An attempt to try it will be the beginning of you becoming a deformed you. It is foolishness to want everyone in your camp and be in the "good" book of everyone. You must learn to select your friends. Even if they select you, you must also check your parameters of judgment to bring such people close. Meanwhile, some people may be colleagues at work and their position must not be more. Some may be mere acquaintances, an attempt to make them more than that will be catastrophic for your dream and goals in life. You dare not discuss details of your life with such. A friend is indeed a dee

TRUST GOD EVEN IF IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE

-
Young man, I am glad to pen some issues on your current challenges to you today. You may be currently in the worst state you could ever be. Let me tell you not to shift your attention away from God. Stay with him. Learn to trust God in all you do. Hold firmly to the truth of his word that he never fails. Even when it does not make sense, trust him harder. Even when it does not match your physical senses and the road seems blocked, trust him better. Trust God if it is senseless. Trust God if it's locked and it can't be opened by men. Trust God is it's dead and no hope of life. Trust God if it's broken and can't be fixed by men. Trust God when all road seems to be locked down. Trust God when the doctors says it can't be fixed medically. Trust God when no man is there to lift you. Trust God when you are in the afternoon or evening of your life here and you look like an under achiever. God is never going to be late on your case. He is never going to fail you. He is
